greige fairytale..

 

Somethings are so beautiful I just cannot help but share them.  I know I don't have anything in my future that says I need a couture gown but if I did this would be a contender!

Julia x 3 | Styling from last week

Gee...that was a busy day! Good news is that our decorative animal heads got featured in Daily Candy, and the Circus print is back in stock.
Those who follow me on Instagram know that last week Francois and I were shooting the new Clare Vivier clutch collection with Julia...
Yes that Julia....the slim, beautiful, long shiny hair, funny, big-mouth Julia!!
First, I would like to say that I'm still madly in love with this oversize clutch bag which I had in blue last year but then I went to see my sister in Paris and she begged me so much that I ended up giving it to her to keep her quiet but the more I look how good it looks on this photo, the more I want it.
Second...well, after putting the BODIE and FOU work stuff to bed, we played a bit and here is the result...Hope you like it!

What did you think of the The Little Black Jacket exhibition?

For those who are on instagram (bodieandfou), you would know that Elodie, Mila and I went to see the Little Black Jacket exhibition yesterday on King's Road which was a very pleasant surprised because I was convinced that it ended last weekend when I was in France.
Beautiful photos of beautiful people taken by Karl Lagerfel. If you haven't see it, hurry up! Yesterday they were given away a set of 3 posters

Ceux qui sont sur instagram (bodieandfou), savent deja qu' Elodie, Mila et moi sommes allées voir  l'exposition a la Saatchi Gallery: Little Black Jacket exhibition sur King's Road, ce qui était pour moi une agréable suprise parce que j'étais persuadée que l'expo s'était terminée le weekend dernier lorsque j'étais en France. 

De tres belles photos prises par Karl Lagerfel. Si vous ne l'avez pas vu, dépéchez-vous!! Hier, ils offraient un set de trois posters a chaque visitor.

Qui se souvient que Maiween avait gagné le concours de mannequin du magazine 20 ans, il y a presque 15 ans???

{shop design} Joe's Jeans South Coast

 

I was working earlier this week (honestly working) and stopped for lunch in South Coast Plaza.  I was so excited to see that they had finally opened the Joe's Jeans shop.  From my lunching vantage point I was able to see there fun window display of hanging vintage items.  Loved that!

I was lucky enough to be able to chat with the sales people in the shop about design and the great look they had going on.  I cannot wait to see what they have in store for the holiday displays.  

They did a great job of mixing vintage and new and the texture in the space was so well used.  I completely loved the rainbow colored jean wall.

 

Their room within the space was created from vintage windows and doors painted in a heavy white.

falling...

 

I am wishing for a real feeling of fall here in California, it has been so warm.  I love the beautiful colors that even that creates, but it is not quite like cool mornings and snuggling up.  I am ready to wear boots and scarves and snuggly things!

Maison Martin Margiela with H&M | Fashion

I'm very much looking forward to seeing this collaboration between the Swedish giant (the other one! H&M) and Maison Martin Margiela. A couple of years ago, I took Mila and my mum to see the Margiela's exhibition in London and it was one of the best fashion exhibitions I had seen. It was very creative and inspiring and I still regularly look at the book from the exhibition for inspiration. 

Looking at the pieces from the collection, I think it's gonna be a collection worth queuing for. I love the leather dress Helena Christensen* is wearing in the video, love her shoes and I love grey jacket SJP is wearing.

The collection is launching in selected H&M stores worldwide on November 15

* always looking stunning!

H&M | Collection "All for Children collection" for Unicef

Mila and I went to H&M this afternoon to see the All for Children collection H&M launched in Association with Unicef. Oh joy!...the gorgeous £9.99 pink dress I was after and the white coat Mila wanted were still available!!
The collection is just amazing...Mila's new coat looks so beautiful, it reminds me a coat by Dior except that it costs £29.99. If they had done the same for women, I would have bought one for me too.
In the end, we got a beautiful skirt matching the coat, a lovely fine-knit jumper with a block pattern and glittery threads in the yarn and as a treat, the Polar bear fur hat & gloves. So I'm now short of £90 but I know that 25% of my money will go to UNICEF and Mila has a few amazing pieces in her wardrobe.

I also would like to highlight the beautiful styling and atmosphere of these images done by Les Petits Bohemes and Desaccord for MILK magazine.
If your local H&M ran out of stock, you can find this beautiful collection on Little Fashion Gallery at the same price than H&M....

Gossip girl afternoon

Despite a lovely start of the day having pancakes for breakfast with Mila, I have been feeling under the weather this afternoon. Maybe I'm coming up with something. So... true to my post on Friday, I spent the afternoon on the sofa, the fire on, catching up on Gossip Girl. Sometimes, spending the day catching up girly movies is just what we need :-)
I love this photo. It reminds me of the style of photos taken during the Bianca Jagger years...They all look gorgeous. Hope you're all well

Feeling fall...

 

I am completely feeling fall this week, it has finally started to cool off here in Southern Cal., for a few days anyway.  I want to drink hot tea, write in a journal and do it all in front of a warm cozy fireplace.  But alas, the house is pulled apart, I have no stove to heat water on and no time to rest, so can you enjoy it for me?  Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
